WASHINGTON, Feb 17.-Expert jugglers at
the White House and in New York seem to
have hold of the secretaryship of the Treasury.

Mr.. Byard would 60 into the Treasury and
United States Minister George II. Pendleton, of
night it is announced that such pressure is being
brought from New York for a County Democ
racy man that the President has concluded to
select successor to Mr.. Manning from that
faction of his party. Ex-Mayor Grace was at
the White House this morning, and it is under
stood that the burden OF his business was upon
this matter, particularly with reference to its
possible influence upon the temper Of the New
York delegation at the next national nominating
convention. It is understood that the County
Democracy have a man whom they would like
to be Secretary of the Treasury and that Mr.
Grace presented his name. The President may
deem it advisable, for political reasons. to ap-
point an active politician, or he may decide that
to accept the choice of one faction in New York
would only make him enemies in the other. and
this may be further inducement for the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Fairchild. whose selection
would not excite jealousies 1t is SAID that be-
sides the pressure coming from New York, there
are Western members who think representative
of the County Democracy should succeed Mr.
Manning A rumor has been running around
town for twenty-four hours to the effect that
Mr.. Manning goes out OF the Treasury for the
purpose of taking charge of Mr.. Clevelands
campaign, and that the administration is to
further relax its pretended civil-service reform
principles so as to cover, so far possible, the
ground occupied by Governor Hill. of New
York. who is now fairly in the field as an oppo-
nent Of Cleveland for the nomination next year
Suggested candidates to succeed Secretary
Manning are as numerous almest. as applicants
for commissionerships under the interstate com
merce bill. Politicians are mentioning the
names of Speaker Carlisle, ex-senator McDon-
ald ex-senator Pendleton, Congressman Morri-
son, Daniel Lockwood Smith NJ. Weed, and
last but many think not the least probable to
be selected, is the Presidents old law partner
w. L. Bissell, of Buffalo. The belief that Mr..
Fairchild will not be promoted seems to be
growing here daily.
